Design of a computerized chemical information file in response to the initial inventory requirements of TSCA
A computerized file of chemical information CHEMFO was developed to help comply with the initial reporting requirements of the Toxic Substance Control Act. This organization and approach allowed collecting the required information on all the manufactured and imported chemicals, editing and entry of the data, structuring of the computer file and interactive capabilities, and selecting the final program and subsequent printout. Besides using this system to meet the TSCA initial inventory reporting requirements, the file also has the capacity to be updated and revised as needed, which further expands its potential benefits. Some of the other information that can be derived from this system are: identification of chemical substances, quantities, and each site; tie-in to the medical/occupational health data bank; foundation for recording the industrial hygiene monitoring data; supplement for toxicology and environmental data base; and index for generating compilation of site specific material on health and environmental information.
